It is located on Primavera Cape, Cierva Cove, on San Martín Land, Antarctic Peninsula. Primavera is one of 13 research bases in Antarctica operated by Argentina. From 1977 to 1982 it served as a permanent base; since then it is open during the summer season only. ==History== On 23 January 1954, Argentine Navy personnel inaugurated the ''Capitán Cobbett'' Naval Refuge on a rocky promontory on Primavera Cape, along the southwestern coast of Cierva Cove in the north access to the Gerlache Strait.〔 Over many years this building was used by Argentine exploration expeditions to the area.〔 On 3 March 1977, seeking to strengthen the Argentine sovereign presence over Antarctica and specifically, the expansion of scientific studies on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, a task force of the Argentine Army settled in Primavera Cape.〔 Lieutenant Colonel Ignacio Carro and eight men under his command expanded the ''Capitán Cobbett'' refuge, setting up all the facilities needed to support the Argentine Antarctic Institute–commissioned scientists. Such buildings included two small houses, a basic bathroom and a deposit. A freezing chamber, two shelters, power plant and radio station were added later.〔 As a secondary mission the small expedition carried out detailed meteorological and glaciological observations.〔 Since 1982 the base is activated only during the austral summer campaigns.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Base Primavera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
